September Night In Wisconsin

Waxing gibbous shining bright as I go for a walk on an autumn night.

I walk down the sidewalk and a cool breeze blows.

Oaks and maples are in its throes.

Small branches are falling on the sidewalk below.

Halloween decorations are in the yards.

Gravestones, witches, and pumpkins carved.

In the clear bright sky are thousands of stars.

On the streets below are many cars.

People are in the houses, not outside

I wonder why it is they choose to hide.

Thousands of people are in the vicinity.

Yet here on the street is peace and tranquility.
